Install gas supply Gas supply Inside wall General Specifications for Piping Note - Contact your local municipality for building codes regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations. In absence of Local Codes, you must conform to the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. WE RECOMMEND THAT THIS INSTALLATION BE DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL. Outside wall Shut off To barbecue ■ This barbecue is designed to operate at 7 inches of water column pressure (.2526 psi). ■ A manual shut-off valve must be installed outdoors, immediately ahead of the quick disconnect. Male fitting The quick disconnect is installed above ground CAUTION: If young children are in the area, a locking valve should be considered. ■ ■ Locking shut off Quick disconnect Some of the following are general requirements taken from ANSI Z223.1, for gas supply installations. Refer to ANSI Z223.1 latest edition for complete specifications. Figure 14 An additional manual shut-off valve indoors should be installed in the branch fuel line in an accessible location near the supply line. Gas line piping The quick disconnect connects to a 3/8 inch NPT thread from the gas source. The quick disconnect fitting is a hand-operated device that automatically shuts OFF the flow of gas from the source when the barbecue is disconnected. ■ If the length of line required does not exceed 50 feet, use a 5/8" O.D. tube. One size larger should be used for lengths greater than 50 feet. ■ Gas piping may be copper tubing, type K or L; polyethylene plastic tube, with a minimum wall thickness of .062 inch; or standard weight (schedule 40) steel or wrought iron pipe. ■ Copper tubing must be tin-lined if the gas contains more than 0.3 grams of hydrogen sulfide per 100 cubic feet of gas. ■ Plastic tubing is suitable only for outdoor, underground use. ■ The quick disconnect fitting can be installed horizontally, or pointing downward. Installing the fitting with the open end pointing upward can result in collecting water and debris. ■ The dust covers (supplied plastic plugs) help keep the open ends of the quick disconnect fitting clean while disconnected. ■ ■ Pipe compound should be used which is resistant to the action of natural gas when connections are made. Gas piping in contact with earth, or any other material which may corrode the piping, must be protected against corrosion in an approved manner. ■ The outdoor connector must be firmly attached to rigid, permanent construction. Underground piping must have a minimum of 18" cover. Test connections ■ WARNING: Do not route the 12’ hose under a deck. The hose must be visible. All connections and joints must be thoroughly tested for leaks in accordance with local codes and all listed procedures in the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. DANGER Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for gas leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property. 16 Step 13 Step 15 Check that all burner valves are off Install side burner You will need: one burner control knob. You will need: side burner assembly, burner grate, 3/4 inch, 5/8 inch and an 11/16 inch or two adjustable wrenches. (Valves are shipped in the OFF position, but you should check to be sure.)

When the Weber Gas Barbecue is stored indoors, the gas supply MUST BE DISCONNECTED. ■ After a period of storage and/or nonuse the Weber Gas Grill should be checked for gas leaks and any obstructions in the burner tubes before using. (See Sections General and Annual Maintenance.) ■ Check that the areas under the control panel and the bottom tray are free from debris that might obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air. ■ The Spider Stopper Guards should also be checked for any obstructions. (See Section "Annual Maintenance.") You can adjust the FRONT, CENTER and BACK burners as desired. The control settings High (H), Medium (M), Low (L), or Off (O) are described in your Weber cookbook. The cookbook uses these notations to describe the settings of the FRONT, CENTER, and BACK burners. For example, to sear steaks you would use (HHH) (all burners at high). Then to complete cooking you would use (MOM) (FRONT at medium, CENTER off, and BACK at medium). See your Weber cookbook for detailed cooking instructions. If burners go out during cooking, open lid, turn off all burners and wait 5 minutes before relighting. Note: The temperatures inside your cooking box, for the first few uses, while surfaces are still very reflective, may be hotter than those shown in your cookbook. Note: Cooking conditions may require the adjustment of the burner controls to attain the correct cooking temperatures. Burner controls may be turned any degree between marked settings to obtain desired temperatures. Periodic Cleaning CAUTION: Turn your Weber Gas Barbecue OFF and wait for it to cool before cleaning. CAUTION: Do not clean your Flavorizer Bars or cooking grates in a self-cleaning oven. Replacement cooking grates and Flavorizer Bars are available through your retailer or the Weber-Stephen Customer Service Center. CAUTION: Replace thermometer in lid when not in use. Do not leave thermometer in food while cooking. Preheating Your Weber Genesis Gas Barbecue is an energy efficient appliance. It operates at a low B.T.U. rate for economy. To preheat, after lighting, close lid and turn all burners to high (HHH). Preheating to between 500° and 550° F (260° and 290° C) will take 10 to 15 minutes depending on conditions such as air temperature and wind. Outside surfaces - Use a warm soapy water solution. CAUTION: Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers (kitchen cleansers) cleaners that contain citrus products or abrasive cleaning pads on barbecue or cart surfaces. Bottom tray - Remove excess grease and then wash with warm soapy water. Drippings and grease The Flavorizer Bars are designed to "smoke" the right amount of drippings for flavorful cooking. Excess drippings and grease accumulate in the catch pan under the bottom tray. Disposable foil liners are available that fit the catch pan. Flavorizer Bars and Cooking Grates- Clean with a suitable brass bristle brush. As needed, remove from grill and wash with warm soapy water. Catch pan - Disposable foil trays are available, or you can line the catch pan with aluminum foil. To clean the catch pan, wash with warm soapy water. CAUTION: Check the bottom tray for grease buildup before each use. Remove excess grease to avoid a grease fire in the bottom tray. Thermometer - Wipe with warm soapy water, clean with plastic scrub ball. Do not put in dishwasher or submerge in water. Inside cooking box - Brush any debris off of burners tubes. DO NOT ENLARGE BURNER PORTS (OPENINGS). Wash inside of cooking box with warm soapy water. Inside Lid - While lid is warm, wipe inside with paper towel to prevent flaking due to grease build-up. 31 Using the Steam-N-Chips Smoker The Steam-N-Chips Smoker cooks with both Weber FireSpice Wood Chips and Chunks. For best results with faster cooking foods like steaks, burgers and chops, etc., we recommend using the FireSpice Chips because they ignite and create smoke faster. For longer cooking foods such as roasts, chicken and turkeys, etc., we recommend using FireSpice Chunks because they ignite slowly and provide smoke for a longer period of time. As you gain experience in using your Steam-N-Chips Smoker, we encourage you to experiment with different combinations of FireSpice Chips and Chunks to find the smoke flavor that best suits your taste. DANGER Do not use any flammable fluid in the Steam-N-Chips Smoker to ignite the wood. This will cause serious bodily injury. Cleaning the Steam-N-Chips Smoker Before each use, empty the Steam-N-Chips Smoker of ash to allow proper air flow. Accomplish this by lightly tapping the sides of the smoker and stirring the ashes so that they sift through the bottom and fall into the bottom tray of your barbecue. Remove bottom tray and empty. To use the Steam-N-Chips Smoker Note - Smoking will leave a "smoke" residue on the surface of the smoker. This residue cannot be removed and will not affect the function of the Steam-N-Chips Smoker. To a lesser degree a "smoke" residue will accumulate on the inside of your Weber Gas Barbecue. This residue need not be removed and will not adversely affect the function of your Weber Gas Barbecue. As a starting point, place a handful of FireSpice Chips or a few FireSpice Chunks in the bottom of the smoker body. Figure 4. Since the chunks vary in size, place as many as you can in the smoker allowing room for the water pan. As you gain experience in smoking, increase or decrease the amount of wood to suit your taste. Fill water pan, place it in the smoker and close the smoker lid. Cutaway view Water Pan Steam-N-Chips Body Place wood in here Steam-N-Chips Flue Figure 4 Light the barbecue and preheat with all burners on HIGH, lid down, for 10 minutes or until thermometer registers 500°F - 550°F. Adjust the burners for cooking; MOM or LOL will be your best settings for long duration smoking. Smoke will start in approximately 10 minutes and last as long as 45 minutes. If you require more smoke flavor, refill the smoker with FireSpice Chips and/or Chunks and refill the water pan with water. The Steam-N-Chips Smoker may be used to enhance any of the meat, poultry and fish recipes in the gas barbecue cookbook. Cook with the lid down according to the times indicated in charts or recipes. Note - After refilling smoker, smoke will take about 10 to 15 minutes to start again. 32 WARNING: If there is a leak at connection (a) retighten the fitting with a wrench and recheck for leaks with soap and water solution. Annual Maintenance After a period of nonuse we recommend that you perform the following maintenance procedures for your safety. If a leak persists after retightening the fitting, turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service. WARNING: Check hose before each use of barbecue for nicks, cracking, abrasions or cuts. If the hose is found to be damaged in any way, do not use the barbecue. Replace using only Weber authorized replacement hose. Order from WeberStephen Products Co., Customer Service Center or authorized dealer. ■ Inspect the burners for correct flame pattern. Clean if necessary, following the procedures outlined in the "General Maintenance" section of this manual. ■ Check all gas fittings for leaks. c) Side burner hose to side burner connection. Figure 5 (c). d) Valves to manifold connections. Figure 5 (d). e) Hose to quick disconnect connection. Figure 5 (e). WARNING: If there is a leak at connections (b), (c), (d) or (e), turn OFF the gas. DO NOT OPERATE THE BARBECUE. Contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service. When leak checks are complete, turn gas supply OFF at the source and rinse connections with water. (a) DANGER (b) Do not use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Be sure there are no sparks or open flames in the area while you check for leaks. This will result in a fire or explosion which can cause serious bodily injury or death, and damage to property. (c) WARNING: You should check for gas leaks every time you disconnect and reconnect a gas fitting. You will need: a soap and water solution and a rag or brush to apply it. Make sure main burners are in the OFF position. Make sure side burner is OFF. Remove valve control knob and screws. Remove enamel top. (d) (e) Put the FlameCheck button on the FlameCheck valve. To perform leak checks: turn on gas supply. Push the FlameCheck button down and hold down until leak checking is complete. This will allow gas to fill the hose and manifold. WARNING: Do not ignite burners while leak checking. Figure 5 Check for leaks by wetting the connections with the soap and water solution and watching for bubbles. If bubbles form or if a bubble grows there is a leak. Inspection and Cleaning of the Weber Spider Stopper Guards Note - Since some leak test solutions, including soap and water, may be slightly corrosive, all connections should be rinsed with water after checking for leaks. To inspect the Spider Stopper Guards, remove the control panel and look to see if they have dust or dirt on their outside surfaces. If they do, brush off the outside surface of the Spider Stopper Guards with a soft bristle brush (an old toothbrush for example). Check that there are no gaps in the Spider Stopper Guards’ seams or in the fit around the burners or valves. (See Section "General Maintenance".) Check: a) Hose to manifold connection. Figure 5 (a). b) Manifold to side burner hose connection. Figure 5 (b). 33 General Maintenance Weber Spider Stopper Guards Main Burner Flame Pattern Your Weber Gas Barbecue, as well as any outdoor gas appliance, is a target for spiders and other insects. They can nest in the venturi section of the burner tubes. This blocks the normal gas flow, and can cause the gas to flow back out of the air shutter. Figure 6. This could result in a fire in and around the air shutters, under the control panel, causing serious damage to your barbecue. The Weber Gas Barbecue burners have been factory set for the correct air and gas mixture. The correct flame pattern is shown in Figure 8. Tips occasionally yellowish Burner inside cooking box Venturi Light blue Dark blue Flames Air shutter Figure 8 Venturi fin If the flames do not appear to be uniform the length of the burner tube, follow the burner cleaning procedures. Figure 6 The Weber Spider Stopper Guard is factory installed. It fits tightly around the air shutter section of the burner tube and the valve, thereby preventing spiders and other insects access to the burner tubes through the air shutter openings. Figure 7. Main Burner Cleaning Procedure Turn off the gas supply. Remove the manifold. (See Section “Replacing the main burners”.) Look inside each burner with a flashlight. Figure 9. Weber Spider Stopper Guard Figure 9 Clean the inside of the burners with a wire (a straightened out coat hanger will work). Figure 10. Check and clean the air shutter opening at the ends of the burners. Check and clean the valve orifices at the base of the valves. Use a brass bristle brush to clean outside of burners. This is to make sure all the burner ports are fully open. Figure 7 We recommend that you inspect the Weber Spider Stopper Guards at least once a year. (See section “Annual Maintenance”.) Also inspect and clean the Spider Stopper Guards if any of the following symptoms should ever occur. 1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow and lazy. Figure 10 2. Barbecue does not reach temperature. CAUTION: Do not enlarge the burner ports when cleaning. 3. Barbecue heats unevenly. 4. One or more of the burners do not ignite. Replacing Main Burners DANGER a) Your Weber Gas Barbecue must be OFF and cool. Failure to correct these symptoms may result in a fire which can cause serious bodily injury or death and cause damage to property. b) Turn gas OFF at source. c) Remove control panel: take off the burner control knobs. Put your fingers under the edge of the control panel at the control panel push-in buttons and pull toward you. Lift off the control panel. 34 h) Lift and twist the burner assembly slightly, to separate the crossover tube from the burners. Figure 14. Remove the burners from the cooking box. d) Unlatch the Spider Stopper Guards and remove. Figure 11. Crossover tube Figure 14 i) Figure 11 CAUTION: The burner openings must be positioned properly over the valve orifices. Figure 15a. e) Use an adjustable wrench to remove the thermocouple from the FlameCheck valve. f) To reinstall burners, reverse steps c) through h). Remove the manifold bracket and unscrew the two thumb screws that hold the manifold to the cooking box. Pull the manifold and valve assembly out of the burners and carefully set it down. Figure 12. Check proper assembly before fastening manifold in place. Figure 15b.

Slightly rotate the Spider Stopper Guards so that the seams are in line with the Venturi fins. There should be no gaps in the seams or in the fit around the burners and valves. Figure 16. If the Crossover Ignition System fails to ignite the Front burner, light the Front burner with a match. If the Front burner lights with a match, then check the Crossover Ignition System. ■ Check that both the white and black ignition wires are attached properly. Figure 17. Venturi fin White wire Black wire Check fit around valve Check fit around burner Figure 17 Figure 16 ■ CAUTION: If the Spider Stopper Guards do not fit tightly, contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service. Check that the Crossover Ignition button pushes the igniter (button) down, and returns to the up position. ■ CAUTION: After reinstalling the gas lines, they should be leak checked with a soap and water solution before using the barbecue. (See Step "Check for gas leaks".) Check to see if the igniter is loose in the frame. Tighten if necessary; see Step “Install igniter” for correct procedure. If the Crossover Ignition System still fails to light, contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service. 36 FlameCheck Safety System The correct positioning of the thermocouple probe is shown in Figure 18. The tip of the probe is positioned in the flame. The probe senses the heat from the Front burner, and activates the FlameCheck valve. The valve allows the gas to flow into the Front burner. If the Front burner should go out for any reason, the thermocouple probe will cool off, thereby closing the FlameCheck valve, which stops the gas flow to the burners. If the FlameCheck Safety System should fail to operate, contact Weber-Stephen Customer Service. Center line Thermocouple nuts 1/8 inch Ignition holes Wall of cooking box Figure 18 37 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Check Cure Burners burn with a yellow or orange flame, in conjunction with the smell of gas.
